Despite suffering through a rash of injuries, the San Antonio Spurs continue to get the job done in the stretch run of the regular season. The Spurs, who have won 10 of their last 11, will look to keep the hot streak going on Monday when they welcome the Atlanta Hawks to town.
An injury to Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant opened the door for the Spurs to eclipse the Dubs for the 1 seed in the Western Conference, and San Antonio is only a half-game outside of the Warriors for first place. Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge were all sidelined for the contest, but the Spurs relied on their deep bench to get past the Warriors on Saturday.
There was a point in the campaign when it looked like Atlanta was going to throw in the towel and become sellers at the trade deadline, but the Hawks have since gone on a nice run to sit only one game back of Toronto for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. Power forward Paul Millsap has been stellar for the Hawks of late, as the veteran has recorded five double-doubles in the past 10 affairs and is averaging 21.3 points in seven games this month.
Atlanta's failures in San Antonio have been well-documented over the years. The Hawks are a brutal 0-18 SU and 4-14 ATS in their last 18 at AT&T Center.
